Landmarks in _Phytopathology_®: A Virtual Issue

In celebration of more than a century of plant pathology publishing, Phytopathology has released a new virtual collection highlighting foundational research that has shaped the field of plant pathology since the journal’s inception in 1911. The virtual issue offers a compelling look at the research—both widely cited and quietly influential—that laid the groundwork for scientific breakthroughs across generations.

In addition to the scientific articles, the virtual issue features personal reflections from many of the original authors. These narratives provide behind-the-scenes glimpses into the origins of key ideas, collaborations, and challenges—underscoring the human side of scientific discovery. Senior editors also contributed short commentaries on their favorite papers, offering insights into how these works shaped their own careers and the broader field.
